GinaMarie is the new HOH!! But that almost seems inconsequential compared to everything else that has happened since then. When the feeds came back after the HOH comp tonight Amanda was already in GinaMarie's ear telling her that she just HAS to put up Elissa and Judd. GinaMarie did a good job of skirting her demands though and pretended to go along with her to an extent, but gave us plenty of eye rolls and other expressions into the camera when Amanda was not looking.

Shortly after GinaMarie got away from Amanda, the Exterminator alliance celebrated in the storage room since they are now able to go through with their plan of keeping themselves safe this week and putting up Amanda and McCrae together. After their small celebration it was time for Judd and Spencer to get their chicken costumes they won for being last in the HOH competition.

After the chicken costumes were revealed, GinaMarie was called to the DR to have her diary room session before the reveal of her HOH room. While she was in there, all hell broke loose again between Elissa and Amanda. Amanda technically started it this time by going into the house and calling Elissa a liar and basically following her around jabbing at her for various reasons. I think this was mostly spawned because Amanda was so angry about Elissa's answer to Julie's question about their fight on the live show. It didn't matter that Amanda started it though, Elissa gave as good as she got for the most part. For the ENTIRE night, each time those 2 were anywhere near each other it turned into a poke and jab fest. Elissa would talk about how much she "misses Aaryn" just to get Amanda riled up, and Amanda would go after Elissa being a mom blah blah blah... There really isn't any point in me giving specifics of what they said when and where because we have all seen every comment over and over again this past week.

Meanwhile everyone else just tried to stay out of it and tried to avoid taking a side when Elissa or Amanda would come to them expecting them to side with them. That is of course with the exception of McCrae who was on Amanda's side. He did do a good bit of yelling at her to try to shut her up tonight though. Judd and Andy had a discussion about how Amanda is driving them up the wall with antagonizing Elissa and then playing the victim and crying about it, but they both agreed that McCrae is probably the bigger threat and the one that will likely need to go this week if he doesn't win veto.

After the first real round of low blows, it was time for GinaMarie to get her HOH room. She got pictures of Nick, a letter from her mom and step dad, and the usual goodies in her HOH basket. Most everyone was happy for GM except for Amanda and Elissa who were too busy taking shots at each other, and then the stand off began. Everywhere GinaMarie would go, Elissa would be 2 feet behind her, and 2 feet behind HER would be Amanda. They eventually ended up in one of the most awkward HOH wait out fests I've ever seen.

For the record, neither Amanda nor Elissa won the wait it out contest. GinaMarie decided to leave the HOH first and go downstairs and while Elissa went to bed and Amanda was busy crying to McCrae outside about how Elissa "bullies" her and how tortured she is and how Elissa tortured Aaryn and how it's not fair, Judd, Andy, and Spencer made their way up to the HOH room with GinaMarie to have a small exterminators meeting and make sure they were all on the same page.

GinaMarie told them she was definitely putting up Amanda and McCrae, and they all agreed that they would like to get McCrae out this week if possible since he is the stronger competitor of the two. There is also the fact that Amanda would really go off the deep end and just be a flailing loose cannon who probably would not be able to play very well if McCrae walks out the door. They also all suspect a double eviction is coming this week, so they think even worse case scenario for them is Amanda or Elissa getting HOH, but they would still likely put each other on the block next to one of the Exterminators, and they can just vote out either Amanda or Elissa depending on which one is on the block. They also all agree they will do whatever it takes to win veto to keep McCrae from coming down and keep GinaMarie from having to nominate Elissa and piss her off.

While the meeting went on upstairs, Amanda sat downstairs still crying and bitching to McCrae about Elissa. She really seems to have no idea whatsoever at this point that she and McCrae are going on the block. Kudos to GinaMarie for her poker face, because Amanda truly believes that Elissa and Judd are going up.

After a while GinaMarie came outside and spoke with Amanda, McCrae and Andy. Amanda tried to make a fake final 4 deal with them, and GinaMarie played it off as if she bought it. Amanda then started asking again about who would be going up next to Elissa. She wants Judd, but said that between Judd and Spencer she does not care which one goes up as long as it's Elissa. GinaMarie played it off again and told them not to worry, that she sees what Elissa is doing by following her around etc.. And she isn't going to listen to her.

Everyone is kind of winding down and going to bed now. I don't see anything else big happening tonight. I personally am really excited about this week. I think tomorrow's nominations are going to be a total blindside (possibly a first for this year) because Amanda and McCrae don't seem to have any idea at all that GinaMarie might put them up together, and they certainly have no idea that Spencer, Judd, Andy, and GM are working together. There should be plenty of fireworks when they go up. I'm excited for Judd that he has managed another week of safety provided he makes it through the double eviction this coming Thursday (and I think he has a good shot this time). I'm happy about Andy's game and the way it is going. He is breaking away from Amanda and McCrae at the perfect time for him. They helped him get pretty far while he helped them also up to this point, but now he knows he has to play against people who are not coupled up and powerful, and he is easing into his new alliance very well. I know people hate Andy for playing both sides, and I constantly get the "Andy is a rat and a snake and a floater" comments on twitter, but I feel that he is playing well and right now I am enjoying him.

I'm hoping GinaMarie tops her last nomination speech this week. Her HOH's are always a little comical to me as she really is a cartoon parody of herself. So here's to some great fireworks tomorrow afternoon when nominations happen. Fire up your feeds and don't make any plans to go out or you might miss it. As always, you guys can follow me on twitter @ashes2ashes13 for more overnight feed updates. Until tomorrow night...

Judd started out the morning talking to Elissa for a really long time about why he did not want to work with Amanda and McCrae and his feelings on them in general. He explained to her why he thought that the two of them needed people to work with and could possibly work with Spencer and Andy and GinaMarie so that they are not alone going into this next week etc.. Everything he said made sense and for the most part of the conversation Elissa was cool, but she was of course still adamant about wanting to put up Andy instead of GinaMarie. Judd told her to do what she wanted to do, but that he just wanted to do what was best for them. Keep in mind that Judd thinks Amanda and McCrae are voting Andy out and that GinaMarie is the swing vote.

After Judd came downstairs, shit was immediately stirred when Aaryn told Andy that she knew for a fact Judd was upstairs telling Elissa to put him on the block instead of GinaMarie (completely false obviously). Andy asked Judd about it and told him that he believed him over Aaryn, and judd went off to confront Aaryn. He basically just called her on her bullshit and then walked away. I cannot rave enough about how much I love Judd 2.0 that does not give a shit what Aaryn or Amanda think of him.

Things seemed like they might calm down for a little while and I kind of wasn't paying attention until all of the sudden Elissa and McCrae were arguing because Elissa thought McCrae and Amanda had gone through or touched her things and stolen some balls from a comp from her. Elissa had apparently moved some of McCrae's clothes so they would all be in the same place instead of spread out in different drawers. They went tit for tat for a few minutes with a few biting comments to each other and then literally fought to get to the DR first to be the first one to ask if other HGs were allowed to touch each others things. No it's not daycare, guys, it's BB 15.

Never one to be left out of a fight, Amanda of course came outside to put her 2 cents in and started first telling Elissa that she is a bad mom and saying that her husband is 75 years old. She then told her that "She should have been a blowjob but got stuck in the wrong hole". Things pretty much went nuts from there. Elissa kept laughing and went inside, but Amanda had bigger plans for the day.

Amanda was and is still determined to try to get GinaMarie on the block so that she can keep Aaryn for herself (when really she doesn't have the votes either way. Andy and Spencer confirmed many times and even told McCrae today that they would have to keep GinaMarie and that Aaryn has to go.). So, Amanda dressed herself in some kind of makeup to make herself look like "New Years Granny" and went around blowing horns in Elissa's ear, and screaming random things about hating her and America hating her etc.. for the rest of the day. It was all rather amusing in my opinion if not a little watered down and weak in comparison to people who have done similar things in seasons past. GinaMarie's face in the following picture is just a happy accident. I don't know what was being said to her.

After hours of Amanda putting ketchup on pads and blowing horns, we got trivia, and when the feeds returned Amanda was talking about how she had been told she had to cool it for a while. The details are unclear, but apparently BB told her she can't do anything that makes Elissa feel afraid or threatened. Amanda spent a good portion of the rest of the night reading the BB rule book to find out what she was and wasn't allowed to do to Elissa.

None of what Amanda was trying to accomplish worked. Her plan was to have Andy comfort Elissa and that way Elissa would think he wasn't working with her and wouldn't put him on the block. Elissa was unphased in the way of nominations though and still intends to put Andy up. She went a step further when she came outside to talk to Andy and Spencer, and Andy told her that GinaMarie had refused to commit her vote to keeping him. Elissa called GinaMarie outside in front of them plus Judd and asked her if she put up Andy would GinaMarie vote how she wanted. GinaMarie said she would, and Elissa said "that's all I needed to know" then went inside her HOH and locked the door and wouldn't let Andy in.

Andy and Spencer agreed later on in the night that since the whole "Amanda and McCrae will vote him out" thing is fake and he has the votes to stay, it is probably better for him to go on the block than GinaMarie, because that way they can get rid of Aaryn without having to fight Amanda about it. Andy even shut Judd down who was still trying to help him by telling him that he didn't want him to get himself nominated, so to not bother pushing Elissa anymore with the idea of putting up GinaMarie and just let her nominate him.

Amanda and McCrae are of course still planning on keeping Andy at this point even though Amanda pulled this elaborate scheme and acted liek they were voting him out, so a good bit of their planning with Andy tonight was how to deal with Judd because obviously Aaryn will run to him and tell him that the plan was all fake. So the plan is that after Andy goes up for nomination tomorrow, McCrae will pull Judd aside and let him know that the plan was all to try to save Andy from the block, and that Andy didn't know about it, and they were not sure if they could trust Judd yet, so they just let him go along with it. This way Andy's hands stay clean, and it (in Amanda and McCrae's mind anyway) will build some trust back between Judd and McCrae.

Judd spent a good portion of his night talking with Andy and Spencer about what could happen in the coming weeks and just having general chit chat with them. They all agree that Amanda and McCrae need to be split up. Andy has added that he may have to get rid of Elissa first though as he is afraid after she gets rid of Aaryn, he will be her next target. When Judd walked away a few times, Andy and Spencer both agreed that they might want to get rid of Elissa this coming week and then split up McCrae and Amanda, and then GinaMarie if they have any control at all in the coming weeks. This is good news for Judd if either of them get power, but we all know the likelihood of that. And yes, I am still aware of Andy's flip flops between being loyal to Amanda vs being loyal to Judd and Spencer. Right now I think it could go either way depending on who gets HOH this coming week.

After things had mostly settled down and all were in their beds except Andy, Spencer, and Judd, GinaMarie could hear Aaryn still laughing and whispering with Amanda. Aaryn really has played this whole thing with GinaMarie very VERY badly. She knows that GinaMarie hates Amanda, but has not even tried to not tattle everything GM says to Amanda and spends most of her time trying to crawl up Amanda's ass. I guess it got to be too much for GM, because she got out of bed and marched outside to the hammock clearly annoyed. Judd, Spencer, and Andy all went to talk to her and she ranted for a really long time about Aaryn and the way she is being treated by her. She hates that Aaryn chooses Amanda over her all the time and that Aaryn pits her against every EXCEPT Aaryn. She brought up a lot of things and it was a pretty fiery rant, but I thought it was amusing to watch to say the least. I kind of like fired up GM. Spencer, Judd, and Andy all assured her that even if she was the one to go up instead of Andy, they would all keep her and boot Aaryn anyway. They told her that they wanted to work with her and Judd told her he was on the same page with her wanting to split up Amanda and McCrae by getting rid of Amanda.

Where GinaMarie's vote lies at this point is a TOTAL mystery, which is unusual for me as a feed watcher. I usually know because each person usually has someone you can tell they are being truthful with. I can't tell with GM though. She told Aaryn and Amanda that people are stupid if they think she would ever vote against Aaryn, but she has promised her vote to Andy and promised Elissa that she will vote Aaryn out as well. So who knows. In the end it will only matter if Amanda and McCrae actually flip and try to oust Andy instead of booting Aaryn, which I am doubting will happen, but never say never..

Things are mostly winding down now and I think everyone will be heading to their beds soon. I expect to see Andy put on the block in place of McCrae at the veto ceremony this morning barring anything strange happening to make Elissa shift her crazy eyes to a different target. I'm pretty sure she is dead set on Andy and there is no changing it though. We will have to wait until close to Thursday to see if Amanda gets her paranoia good and revved up and decides to take a stab at getting rid of Andy (which I could totally see happening).

Crazy, Crazy, CRAZY!! They are ALL out of their minds and have been at it nonstop for most of the day and night. I don't even know how to begin explaining all that happened, so I will just try to hit the high (and really low) points.

When I fired up the feeds today the veto comp was already underway. When the feeds returned we learned that it was the Zingbot veto comp and that Amanda had won. I think we were all kind of expecting that to happen. No, I do NOT think it was rigged. I just think that in BB, typically if a lot of the HGs don't want someone to win, they usually do. IE Elissa winning HOH this past week. I think this year may see the end of the Zingbot comps, or maybe they will just start doing them at a different time in the season, because this one was as rough as last year. Last year the person wearing the Zingbot costume had a heat-stroke and fainted. This year Judd threw up and had to be put on oxygen, and some of the others required oxygen and medical attention because they couldn't breathe. Heat is not a friend to the Zingbot comps.

One would THINK that winning veto and being able to keep both herself and McCrae safe would make Amanda happy, but ohh no, not until she is in complete control of every move made by the HOH can she rest. Amanda does not want anyone but Judd or GinaMarie going up next to Aaryn on the block because she wants to be able to keep Aaryn. Elissa wants/wanted to put Andy up because she felt that Amanda and McCrae would not vote Andy out in order to keep Aaryn (which is true). Amanda created an elaborate scheme to fool people. She marched up to the HOH and told Elissa that she HOPES she puts up Andy because no one else will, and that she is keeping Aaryn no matter what and so will McCrae. She told Elissa that everyone likes Andy so this is the perfect opportunity to vote Andy out. Elissa remained mostly unaffected and jus tkind of made fun of Amanda saying that to her face. After Amanda went back outside, Elissa came down and saw her sitting and talking game with Andy. She asked her if she was telling Andy her latest scheme to vote him out. THe truth is, Amanda was in fact telling Andy that he needed to act like she told him she was going to vote him out. (it's already confusing and I just started).

Anyway, Andy ran into the house and went in the cockpit and started fake crying to Elissa and telling her that Amanda said she was going to vote him out, but the only way to make sure Aaryn went home was to ptu up GinaMarie. Elissa told Andy she wasn't sure if he was just faking and in on the scheme or not, but that she didn't want him to go home, she just wanted to assure that Aaryn went home.

A little while after this, many fireworks happened here and there between Amanda and Elissa. Elissa while giggling told Amanda that she threw the competition to her to help her stay safe (in order to annoy her). Her plan worked, and Amanda got all fired up and started yelling about how ridiculous it was for anyone to say that etc... Then she told Elissa that she looked plastic and started insulting her husband and kids etc... as Amanda does. Elissa brought up Amanda telling everyone she was pregnant during the sequester time before the show, and asked her why she would still come on the show after losing a baby and then immediately hookup with someone who wasn't her boyfriend the first week. Blows like this were exchanged throughout the night for a while until they got booze and they went into their separate groups to talk trash about each other to other people. Amanda strutted around wearing the veto necklace while doing this...I just couldn't leave that part out.

At some point Judd talked first to Andy and Elissa up in the HOH room about making sure that Andy stayed if he went up. Elissa told everyone she was convinced that GinaMarie would be voting out Aaryn with everyone else, and Judd even said he would offer GM is $5k to vote against Aaryn. Andy was still nervous about the idea of going on the block though and also still playing it up for the two of them, and exited the HOH in kind of a huff. Judd then talked to GinaMarie downstairs in front of Andy and started asking her if she would vote Aaryn out. GinaMarie was non-committal about it (because she will never vote against Aaryn). GinaMarie had also had a LOOOONG mind bending chat with Amanda during all the fighting, and was starting to distance herself from Elissa a little. She told Judd "I can't vote out my BB bunny" when it was just the 2 of them, and that got Judd thinking. What he did not realize is that what he was thinking is exactly the plan that Amanda wanted.

Judd went to Andy and Spencer and asked them if they would vote out Aaryn and they both said they would and swore to it. Judd said maybe Elissa SHOULD put up GinaMarie since that's the only vote they are not sure about. He ran the idea by Elissa and told her why. She asked Andy and Spencer about their votes if she put up GM, and made them swear by them, and they all had a really REALLY long talk about all working together to get Amanda out of the house in the upcoming week. Everything SEEMED to be right on track.

Judd went outside where Amanda, McCrae, and Aaryn were trahsing Elissa by the hot tub, and Amanda tried to get into it with Judd, with Aaryn jumping in like the good lapdog that she is. Amanda kept pointing out "you hate me. I can tell. I didn't do anything to you that everyone else in this house didn't do. It was Helen and Elissa that wanted this for you" blah blah blah blah blah. Judd wouldn't take the bait and just kept telling her he didn't want to bring up old wounds, but he did mention that he saw the tape where she smiled really big when Aaryn nominated him. Aaryn kept throwing in something about how he had used the term "BB Bunny" in a condescending way towards her (WHAT?!). So help me, it was the dumbest thing she has said since "the most offensive thing you can do to a Texan is sit on their hat."

While this half argument was going on, Andy and Spencer talked to each other in the cockpit alone for a few minutes. They agreed that they really DO want Aaryn gone this week and that they were just going to have to tell Amanda "Look, we are voting her out and that's just how it is." Andy also told Spencer that truthfully he is leaning more towards working with Judd and Elissa than with Amanda and McCrae, and that if he got HOH he thinks he would have to put Amanda and McCrae up so they could get Amanda out of the house, because it is time to cut her loose. They both agreed that even though they had been scared about Judd coming back in the house, they both feel now that it's the best thing that could have happened, and perfect timing for going after Amanda.

Judd went and talked to GinaMarie a little bit and told her he didn't know if she would go up or not, but that if she did, for her not to worry because she was staying. He promised her he would never directly put her up and told her how grateful he was to her for being one of the only 2 people that did not want him out when he got evicted. Aaryn came in and started telling lies and talking bullshit as usual (this really is all Aaryn does. She mostly runs to Amanda and just makes things up out of nowhere. It's really strange). She told GinaMarie to go and have a chat with Elissa.

Judd went upstairs to tell Elissa what was going on and warn her that Aaryn had told GinaMarie to come and have a conversation with her. This is when Elissa lost her marbles again. Elissa decided that Judd was working with Amanda/McCrae/Aaryn again. I have NO idea where this came from, but she was clearly angry about it. Judd tried to tell Elissa that wasn't the case and explained to her all the reasons he can't stand them now and wants Amanda out and wants Aaryn out. Elissa wasn't having it. Judd gave Elissa the gold coin he keeps with him that his mom gave him and told her that if he was lying she could keep it. Then Andy came in the room. Andy confirmed everything Judd was saying about being anti-Amanda and Aaryn now and wanting to vote Aaryn out. Elissa did not believe them and dismissed them from her room saying she was going to bed...but she didn't.

Elissa decided to hold court with GinaMarie and told her that Judd wants her up on the block SOOO bad because he wants Elissa and GM to turn against each other...which is NOT true at all. Judd really wanted to work with GinaMarie, Elissa, Andy, and Spencer. Elissa told GinaMarie that she is NOT putting her up, but that she is pretending she is going to and then she is putting Andy on the block anyway. Putting Andy up won't send him home, Aaryn will still go, but Elissa's perception of what is happening is WAAAY off the map. GinaMarie TOLD Elissa she will vote out Aaryn. Whether she actually will or not, I don't know, but Amanda and McCrae are not going to vote Andy out, so really it won't matter in the end except that now Judd won't have the original support he did from GinaMarie and Elissa.

Spencer and Judd are still awake just talking about past things and about wanting Amanda out. A few others are still awake as well, but things seem to be winding down for the night. So much game happened tonight it's hard to keep up, and I LOVE it. I am loving the fact that the feeds are not boring again.

I know a lot of people tweeted me in anger about Judd working with Andy and Spencer tonight, but honestly, what could he do? He can't just work alone with Elissa who can't play for the coming HOH, especially because she is bat shit crazy and stops trusting people out of nowhere for weird ass reasons. He has to have someone, and he can't work with and doesn't want to work with Aaryn/Amanda/McCrae. So there it is. I think it was sort of a wise choice with his only mistake being telling Elissa to put up GM instead of Andy..which he really had good intentions about.

It's time for me to wind down now myself so I can gear up for another day of non-stop gaming. As always, you guys can follow me on twitter @ashes2ashes13 for more overnight feed updates. Until tomorrow night...

Wow, what a night! First off, "Guess who's back, back again!" I could not be more excited that of the 4 people competing, Judd won the competition to get back into the house!

And just as the whole house didn't want Aaryn to win HOH when she stayed, but she did, they all did not want Elissa to win tonight, so of COURSE Elissa got HOH.

As soon as the HOH comp was over and everyone came inside, the HGs scattered to their various corners to talk about how unhappy they were with both the return of a HG and with Elissa getting HOH. Amanda immediately started her same old loop. She pulled Andy and McCrae into the cockpit so she could talk about how she is still SURE Judd was MVP and he just HAS to go because he has been trying to get her out of the house for WEEKS now. Andy was more than happy to jump in with about a million "it's not fair's" and McCrae agreed. Amanda also went straight to Elissa to try to get Judd put on the block. Elissa flat out told Amanda she would not be putting up Judd.

Elissa did tell Amanda that she would definitely be putting up Aaryn and possibly McCrae next to Aaryn. What she said out loud was that she wants someone on the block that can beat Aaryn in veto, and that she wants someone who will fight their heart out to keep Aaryn from getting it. It's very possible that this is the case, but I'm hoping that Elissa has bigger plans. Amanda ran straight to McCrae to talk to him about what Elissa told her. Amanda started crying over how she didn't win HOH and how McCrae might be going on the block, and they both schemed about how to get GinaMarie put up so they could still vote out Aaryn but keep themselves safe. They also schemed about what to tell Judd about his eviction and eventually decided to blame it all on Helen and tell him that Helen had been telling them that he was MVP and he was after her.

McCrae then pulled Elissa into the cockpit to tell her how "dumb" it would be to put him on the block next to Aaryn. He told her he would do anything to win the veto anyway including shave his head, and made a pretty long and convincing, if not somewhat forceful argument. For a while it seemed like Elissa bought it. She told McCrae she would consider not putting him up, but that Aaryn MUST go and if she feels like ANYONE doesn't fight as hard as they can for the veto, she is putting that person up next to Aaryn.

Then Elissa pulled Spencer into the have-not room. She made the same threats about veto that she made to McCrae to Spencer and also made a deal with him for 2 weeks of safety if she didn't put him on the block and told him she would likely be putting up McCrae and Aaryn. Spencer acted like he was cool with all of this but then ran to McCrae and Andy to report all that Elissa had said.

During this time Aaryn (who I am sure knows the deal) mostly just laid around and looked like she might die, and Andy revived his old game of "pop goes the weasel" into every conversation he could fit himself into.

Pretty late in the night Elissa got her HOH room. She got her Yoga matt (though it wasn't the right kind) and pictures (though they were not the ones she wanted), Fake eyelashes (that she said she would NEVER wear), pictures her little boy drew for her, a necklace from her mother, A letter from Rachel, and a large bottle of Skinny Girl Tequila. Aaryn was the first to say she was tired and leave the HOH.

Once Aaryn went downstairs, Andy eventually followed her so that he could talk to her. He told her he did not want GinaMarie going up next to her and that he thought McCrae would probably be the one going up with her. He told her that he would prefer that over GM going up. Now, I don't know if Andy is totally serious about his final 3 with Aaryn and GM or if he is just saying things to her in case she comes off the block, but if he is serious, McCrae, or whoever takes that spot next to Aaryn tomorrow could actually be in trouble.

Not to be deterred from being able to control the nominations, Amanda wasted no time in snuggling right up to "her new best friend". I'm hoping all of this has no affect at all on Elissa just like everything else anyone tells her.

It's very hard for me to tell if Elissa really does live on another planet, or if there are actually wheels turning, but here is what I am HOPING she is doing. I am hoping she is trying to break up the two major duos still left in the house by putting one of each up (McCrae and Aaryn). If Aaryn won veto I am hoping she would put up Amanda next to McCrae to break them up, or put up GinaMarie next to Aaryn if McCrae came down. That way you break up one of the couples either way. I'm not positive this is what she is doing, but it's the only thing that I think would make sense with the nominations she is making.

At this point a lot of them are still awake and I'm not sure how much more game talk will happen tonight, but I THINK it's likely that Aaryn and McCrae will go on the block today with Aaryn being the target. Elissa is a little different from all the previous HOH's though, and that could be subject to change..especially with Amanda and McCrae constantly in her ear. It should be an interesting week depending on who goes up and who wins veto. Elissa seems determined to make her HOH count (that's what Helen told her to do) so maybe a decent sized move will be made.

I'm SO happy Judd is back! I'm not an Elissa fan, but I'm happy to see the person they all did not want to win HOH actually get it, and if she sends out Amanda, all the better for me. This has the potential to be an interesting week between all the paranoia, campaigning, and fighting. I don't think it will go exactly as any one person has planned out...for once. As always, you guys can follow me on twitter @ashes2ashes13 for more overnight feed updates. Until tomorrow night...

Small follow up to report. Andy and Judd have now had a talk in which Andy told Judd to TRUST him that he woudl keep him safe. At first I thought Andy was just covering his ass, but he told Judd about Amanda getting into his ear and making him believe things about Judd that were not true. He told him that his eviction was due to Amanda making everyone believe he was MVP, and he told him he would fill him in on more tomorrow. Judd told Andy that in Amanda's goodbye message she said some things that he did not trust like that McCrae told HER that Judd was coming after her so she had to evict him. Very interesting...Amanda is plotting jury votes apparently. Anyway, I don't know where Andy will actually stand on this in the end, but it was an interesting conversation for sure.

Amanda and McCrae have been trying to strongarm Elissa out of her nomination decision for quite a while in front of Judd. Thus far Elissa has been shutting Amanda down while Amanda pulls out over and over that SHE is the one that keeps Elissa safe and says that she NEVER EVER EVER wanted Elissa on the block last week. I'm not sure how long Elissa will hold up, but the longer this ridiculous conversation goes, the more I hope she sticks to her guns.
